Research Interests:
Dr. Scholes is an epidemiologist whose research interests focus on reproductive and women's health issues with emphasis on contraceptive practices and sexually transmitted disease prevention. Currently, she is the principal investigator for an NIH-funded prospective study of the effects of combined oral contraceptives (OCs) and other risk factors on bone density in adolescent and young adult women.
